We are thrilled to host our annual Summer Scholars panel in person after several years of online panels. Attend on November 7 — and you’ll be inspired! The United Nations Association of New York is holding a special debriefing panel for our Summer Scholar 2024 fellowship winners, and we're inviting everyone to meet them. This year our selected Summer Scholars were busy working with various international offices of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP). Our yearly fellowships, which are fully funded by UNA-NYC, offer frequent collaborations with agencies such as the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF), and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), but may involve other agencies as well. The mission of the Scholars program is to foster direct knowledge and understanding of the UN and international organizations. Please join us to meet this year's Summer Scholars, and hear about their experiences, some of the challenges of working as fellows in their assignments, as well as their contributions while being involved with an international organization. This year's session will be moderated by UNA-NYC Board Member Ramu Damadoran. Attend and be inspired!
